How It Works
Three steps to get started
01
Upload a PDF
Drop in the PDF you need to edit.
02
Text Extraction
Every line of text is read directly from the PDF in your browser.
03
Download .docx
Download an editable Word document with the extracted text, ready to reformat.
Honest Scope
Gets the words out.
You do the formatting.
Reconstructing a PDF's exact original formatting into a faithful Word document isn't something a browser can reliably do. This tool focuses on what it can do well: getting every word out of the PDF and into an editable .docx, so you're not retyping from scratch.
- Real, editable .docx output
- Works on any text-based PDF
- Files never leave your browser
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, completely free. No account or credit card is required.
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your files are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server.
No — this tool extracts the text content, not the original layout, fonts, or images. It's built for getting words out to edit, not for a pixel-perfect Word copy of the PDF.
No — it reads text that's already embedded in the PDF. A scanned PDF (a photo of a page) has no embedded text to extract, so the output will be empty.
